| Abstract | Crowdsensing has received widespread attention in recent years. It is extensively employed in smart cities and intelligent transportation systems. This paper comprehensively surveys the latest research advancements in crowdsensing for smart cities from a novel perspective. Specifically, this paper is categorized according to sensing entities in smart cities, including human-oriented sensing, vehicle-oriented sensing, and infrastructure-oriented sensing. Meanwhile, the development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-assisted sensing in recent years is also summarized, accompanied by a timeline of related research. To facilitate easy comprehension, we have positioned the reading flow into the corresponding architectures, resolved problems, existing technical solutions, and specific application scenarios for different sensing entities. In particular, the problems to be solved are further analyzed from four technical perspectives, namely mathematics and operational research, artificial intelligence and machine learning, incentive mechanisms, security and privacy protection. Based on the proposed taxonomy, recent studies are thoroughly investigated to illustrate the current state of research in crowdsensing. Furthermore, this paper highlights the emerging applications of human-oriented and vehicle-oriented sensing in smart cities, as well as the frameworks, platforms, simulators, and datasets involved in crowdsensing. Finally, this paper discusses research directions related to crowdsensing in smart cities, such as digital twins, metaverses, and artificial intelligence-generated content. The primary goal of this survey is to review and synthesize prior research, identify potential avenues for future research, and explore opportunities for collaboration with other relevant research domains. © 1998-2012 IEEE. |
